‹‹
The sand of the sea and the raindrops.
And the days of eternity , who can assess them.
And often there are falling teardrops.
But here is a true everlasting gem.
The height of the sky and the breadth of the earth.
Who can probe them.
But with all this comes new birth.
We can only sound the welcome drum.
Before all other things wisdom was created.
Shrewd understanding is everlasting.
Ultimately all things are weighted.
Before we even begin fasting.
For whom has the root of wisdom ever been uncovered.
If from God we are severed.
…….
Who can probe the sea
Or measure he breath of earth
All things are weighted
…….
